Redo of https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/130728 - code is the same as before. That PR was stuck in Google testing and then I messed up the rebase so started over. ---- Starting in Xcode 15, the simulator is no longer included in Xcode and must be downloaded and installed separately. This adds a validation to `flutter doctor` to warn when the needed simulator runtime is missing. Validation message looks like: ``` [!] Xcode - develop for iOS and macOS (Xcode 15.0) ! iOS 17.0 Simulator not installed; this may be necessary for iOS and macOS development. To download and install the platform, open Xcode, select Xcode > Settings > Platforms, and click the GET button for the required platform. For more information, please visit: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/installing-additional-simulator-runtimes ``` It may also show an error like this when something goes wrong when checking for the simulator: ``` [!] Xcode - develop for iOS and macOS (Xcode 15.0) â Unable to find the iPhone Simulator SDK. ``` Note: I'm unsure of in the future if the SDK and the simulator runtime will need to match the exact version or just the major. For now, it only checks against the major version. Part 3 of https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/129558.
Flutter Tools
This section of the Flutter repository contains the command line developer tools for building Flutter applications.
Working on Flutter Tools
Be sure to follow the instructions on CONTRIBUTING.md to set up your development environment. Further, familiarize yourself with the style guide, which we follow.
Setting up
First, ensure that the Dart SDK and other necessary artifacts are available by invoking the Flutter Tools wrapper script. In this directory run:
$ flutter --version
Running the Tool
To run Flutter Tools from source, in this directory run:
$ dart bin/flutter_tools.dart
followed by command-line arguments, as usual.
Running the analyzer
To run the analyzer on Flutter Tools, in this directory run:
$ flutter analyze
Writing tests
As with other parts of the Flutter repository, all changes in behavior must be
tested.
Tests live under the test/ subdirectory.
-
Hermetic unit tests of tool internals go under
test/general.shardand must run in significantly less than two seconds. -
Tests of tool commands go under
test/commands.shard. Hermetic tests go under itshermetic/subdirectory. Non-hermetic tests go under itspermeablesub-directory. Avoid adding tests here and prefer writing either a unit test or a full integration test. -
Integration tests (e.g. tests that run the tool in a subprocess) go under
test/integration.shard. -
Slow web-related tests go in the
test/web.sharddirectory.
In general, the tests for the code in a file called file.dart should
go in a file called file_test.dart in the subdirectory that matches
the behavior of the test.
The dart_test.yaml file configures the timeout for these tests to be
15 minutes. The test.dart script that is used in CI overrides this
to two seconds for the test/general.shard directory, to catch
behaviour that is unexpectedly slow.
Please avoid setting any other timeouts.
Using local engine builds in integration tests
The integration tests can be configured to use a specific local engine
variant by setting the FLUTTER_LOCAL_ENGINE environment variable to the
name of the local engine (e.g. "android_debug_unopt"). If the local engine build
requires a source path, this can be provided by setting the FLUTTER_LOCAL_ENGINE_SRC_PATH
environment variable. This second variable is not necessary if the flutter and
engine checkouts are in adjacent directories.
export FLUTTER_LOCAL_ENGINE=android_debug_unopt
flutter test test/integration.shard/some_test_case
Running the tests
To run all of the unit tests:
$ flutter test test/general.shard
The tests in test/integration.shard are slower to run than the tests
in test/general.shard. Depending on your development computer, you
might want to limit concurrency. Generally it is easier to run these
on CI, or to manually verify the behavior you are changing instead of
running the test.
The integration tests also require the FLUTTER_ROOT environment
variable to be set. The full invocation to run everything might
therefore look something like:
$ export FLUTTER_ROOT=~/path/to/flutter-sdk
$ flutter test --concurrency 1
This may take some time (on the order of an hour). The unit tests alone take much less time (on the order of a minute).
You can run the tests in a specific file, e.g.:
$ flutter test test/general.shard/utils_test.dart
Forcing snapshot regeneration
To force the Flutter Tools snapshot to be regenerated, delete the following files:
$ rm ../../bin/cache/flutter_tools.stamp ../../bin/cache/flutter_tools.snapshot
